How to Get 5-Star Treatment on Your Private Flight

While commercial and private air travel may seem similar on the surface, there is a lot that sets these two services apart. Here are some tips for first-time flyers on how to make the most of your private jet experience.

It’s all about you: Because you hire the entire aircraft when you fly privately, you aren’t subject to the typical rules applied in commercial aircraft cabins that are designed to accommodate multiple travelers with different needs. This makes it more like being in a private dining room at a top restaurant or a hotel suite rather than on a simple travel service. You can hold a meeting, catch up on your sleep, screen your favorite films, eat your favorite food or simply kick back and relax as if you were at home.

So, tailor your in-flight experience: Booking a private flight has become incredibly easy, with apps available to help you find the right company and jet at the best price. However, this is still a mode of travel that is all about the personal touch, so don’t hesitate to speak to your charter company about any specific requirements you need for the flight – they have teams dedicated to making it happen. This can cover anything from bringing pets on board and managing your airport transfers to having all your favorite snacks on hand or a special surprise for your loved one. They can also assist you with any concerns you may have, last minute changes to your schedule and other issues with ease and professionalism.

And be prepared: Part of making the most of this luxurious experience is making sure that you’re prepared well in advance and know exactly what private jet travel can offer you. There are plenty of online resources about private in-flight services, private jet etiquette and more – and you always have your charter company on hand to ask questions any time.
